You want to start by subtracting 5 from both sides to get 2/3x=-8/3 then cross multiply to get whole numbers which is 6=-24x then your gonna want to isolate the variable so divide both sides by -24 to get 6/-24=x then you can simplify to x=-1/4
I think it's 12x.
I'm not a 100% sure though, but I hope this helps. =^D
Answer:
A = ± 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
b²A² - 3g = q ( add 3g to both sides )
b²A² = q + 3g ( divide both sides by b² )
A² =
( take the square root of both sides )
A = ± 
You would think it was 3 * 12 = 36. Not so. All polygons have to be broken down into some figure that will give 2 dimensions that are at right angles to each other. That would mean that
d1 * d2 = Area for the small polygon
3d1 * 3d2 = area of the larger polygon
What that means is that the area of the larger one is 9 times the smaller one.
Area large = 12 * 9 = 108 square units. <<<<< answer.
If you find this hard to be leave try it with a square.
Suppose you have a square (the small one) that is 3 cm by 3 cm
The small one has an area of 3*3 cm^2 = 9 cm
Now you have another square that is 3 times larger. That means that each side is 3*3 = 9
So s = 9
Area = s^2
Area = 9^2 = 81 cm^2
81 is 9 times larger than 9 just as you would think.
Part a: you would get 3x+4=22
Part b: you would get 6 as your answer
